CALL FOR PAPERS
===============


The Fifth International Workshop on Security Testing (SECTEST 2014)

https://sites.google.com/site/sectestworkshop/

ICST 2014, Cleveland, Ohio USA

To improve software security, several techniques, including vulnerability 
modelling and security testing, have been developed but the problem remains 
unsolved. SECTEST workshop tries to answer how vulnerability modelling can 
help users understand the occurrence of vulnerabilities so to avoid them, and 
what the advantages and drawbacks of the existing models are to represent 
vulnerabilities. At the same time, the workshop tries to understand how to 
solve the challenging security testing problem, how security testing is 
different from and related to classical functional testing, and how to assess 
the quality of security testing. This is in particular interesting since 
testing the mere functionality of a system alone is already a fundamentally 
critical task. The objective of SECTEST workshop is to share ideas, methods, 
techniques, and tools about vulnerability modelling and security testing to 
improve the state of the art. In particular, the workshop aims at providing a 
forum for practitioners and researchers to exchange ideas, perspectives on 
problems, and solutions. Both papers proposing novel models, methods, and 
algorithms and reporting experiences applying existing methods on case 
studies and industrial examples are welcome. The topics of interest include, 
but are not restricted to:

        • network security testing
        • application security testing
        • security requirements definition and modelling
        • security and vulnerability modelling
        • secure interoperability
        • runtime monitoring of security‐relevant applications
        • security testing of legacy systems
        • cost effectiveness issues
        • comparisons between security‐by‐design and formal analyses
        • formal techniques for security testing and validation
        • security test generation and oracle derivation
        • specifying testable security constraints
        • test automation
        • penetration testing
        • regression testing for security
        • robustness and fault tolerance to attacks
        • test‐driven diagnosis of security weaknesses
        • process and models for designing and testing secure system
        • when to perform security analysis and testing
        • "white box" security testing techniques
        • compile time fault detection and program verification
        • tools and case studies
        • industrial experience reports



:: Submission

We solicit both full papers (8 pages) and short papers (2 pages) in IEEE 
two‐column format. We also solicit demonstrations of security testing tools 
(4 pages). All submissions will be peer‐reviewed. Authors of accepted papers 
must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Authors 
are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable document 
format (pdf); please, do not send files formatted for work processing 
packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or Wordperfect files). The only mechanism for 
paper submissions is via EasyChair.



:: Publication

The proceedings will be published in the IEEE digital library.
